Elite Warrior of the Sixth Legion, The Drake of the Sixth Legion
Description
Rune has always been an exemplary soldier, extremely determined and disciplined, following every command with every ounce of his strength, with the ultimate goal of rising up the ranks and being chosen as the next Captain of the Sixth Legion.
Rune always goes the extra mile, training until he pukes up blood or defeating a dangerous monster he was ordered to observe and report back on.
If Rune decides to do something, he will push himself until he succeeds, damn the costs. This determination has earned him the codename ‘Drake’ within the Sixth Legion.
What he lacks in physical power and magical potential, he makes up for in sheer spirit. He trains and trains, much harder than any of the other Elite Warriors in the Sixth Legion.
Because of the intensity of his training, his physical strength and fitness are exceptionally high, and the control he has over his water magic is among the top of the Sixth Legion (only below Hitori).
Backstory
Rune was born into a slum near the border between the Lumare and Kaligo Empires. Life was rough, food was a luxury not always afforded.
His father was killed by a bear while he was out hunting for food when Rune was just five years old. Shortly following his father’s death, Rune’s mother grew weaker and weaker, eventually becoming bedridden.
By the age of seven, when Rune came back home after having successfully stolen a loaf of bread, he found his mother lying in bed, cold and stiff like an icicle; she had succumbed to her sickness.
Following his mother passing away, Rune wandered the streets alone, occasionally stealing food so as to not starve to death.
While he became quite desensitized and brash from the slum life, Rune had inherited his mothers kind heart, often stepping in when he saw someone weaker getting picked on.
Over the next few years, Rune became quite good at fighting, learning both how to take hits from the much stronger adults he was fighting and eventually how to outmaneuver them and fight back.
By the age of 16, Rune was easily the best fighter in the slums, even feared by the common thugs; “He just won’t give up, what’s wrong with this kid!?”.
Rune desperately wanted to escape the slum life and its hardships, but he only had one skill to work with; fighting. He kept constantly looking for a way out of the slums, and that opportunity eventually came when the Kaligo army attacked the village.
He decided to take down the Kaligo officer leading the platoon to attack the village; that way, he could prove himself to the Lumare Army, who would surely recruit him into their military.
He fought tooth and nail, taking down around a dozen trained soldiers of the Kaligo Empire, inching his way towards the officer. He got slashed in multiple places while fighting through more soldiers; but he did not give up. While fighting, he awakened his water magic, using it to ultimately take down the Kaligo officer, and around a dozen remaining soldiers.
When the Lumare army platoon made it to the village, he was found passed out on his knees, severely injured and with the bodies of nearly three dozen Kaligo soldiers around him.
His strategy had worked, as the Lumare army quickly took him in and tended to his wounds, before a Captain came to check up on him; Captain Kyros.
Through Captain Kyros, Rune got himself into the Lumare Academy, as well as enlisting as an Elite Warrior of the Sixth Legion, successfully escaping the slums.
Over the next two years, Rune has tried his best to improve his vocabulary, adopting a more sophisticated, humble and reserved style of speaking so as to blend in with the more high-class individuals. However, when Rune gets mad, his old, brash and ruthless personality slips out (and he will fight like a fearless monster).
Now as an Elite Warrior of the Sixth Legion, his quality of life has substantially increased, but he has a new goal; he wants to become the next Captain of the Sixth Legion, he wants to be chosen as Kyros’ successor.
